Excellent explanation. I've been taking classes for almost 2 years and until you shows it, I hadn't had such a detailed and accurate explanation of how to wedge clay. Thank you for your generosity in teaching.
Thank you for making these videos. Would love to see you talk more about hand building, glaze, slip, sprigs etc etc. It's a bless to look at your videos during pandemic.
This is such a helpful video, thank you! How do you know when you've overworked a piece of clay? Say I threw a bowl that I'm not happy with, can I just wedge it again and start over? How do I know when the clay is done?
I think it looks like a frog head not goat 😂🐸 I'm absolutely obsessed with your work and your videos, it helps me a lot, I was kind of lost and didn't know how to start my own business 💙😍 thank you ♥️
Best video I have seen on this topic. I made my own clay at home and after a few failed attempts of making pinch pots now my clay cracks when I try and make a pinch bowl. Large cracks as well as small chipped/crack surface, any idea why? Also I tired to wedge it like you showed but it’s too hard/tough. Wish there was a way to attach pics here
Thanks for the detailed explanation! I enjoyed the video, although it was a bit hard to understand you in the far away shots, maybe it's my phone or something, but the echo of the place and the lower volume didn't help. Maybe do it a little different next time? Anyway, super helpful video!
Hello! Other than making it more humid and having some clay stick to the cloth, is adding water prejudicial? I ask because I tend to add water regularly because I don't know if it the weather here rn or what, but I feel like it gets dry and hard very easily while working with it D:
If you feel like it's getting too dry to work with, adding water is fine. It's all fine, just understand that water weakens your clay, so if it's not holding it's shape, you're using too much water. Uneven water application can also cause cracking...
